Mystery remains around the identity of the pilot of a small plane which crashed near Papua New Guinea's capital on Sunday. The Accident Investigation Commission was alerted to the activation of an emergency signal about 30 kilometres west of Port Moresby on Sunday. Aviation authorities had not been aware of the aircraft before the emergency signal, as it was not cleared to fly in PNG. The ABC has reported that PNG police believe the pilot was Australian, with a tracker app showing he'd flown from Queensland that day.
